Don't snub u boy because OF the IT,

Don't snub boy because OF physi-

How to Deal With the County
COnvicts.

Dallas ways and means of doing
things, generally speaking, attracts
universal attention. Dallas people lead
in all things that 60 towards building
up great city and thoroughly man.
age its affairs. The Legislature of the
State has been attracted to the man.
ner in which the county convicts are
being employed in making good roads
that lead into the city, and commit
tee is to be appointed by that body to
make inquiry into the matter. Judge
Bower, of this city, originated tho
present plan, and would be the man of
all men for the committee to see. If
the county of Dallas can estimate a
profit of $4,000 in work by convict
labor it certainly ought to recommend
itself to the State generally. A little
while ago the commissioners of Tar
rant county were here 10 look into
this matter and they went back home
charmed with the plan and will doubt
less adopt il.

LOEB-SUES.
A Brilliant Wedding at the Temple
Emanuel.

There was brilliant wedding last
night at the Temple EMANUEL. 1t
was the occasion OF the marriage of
Mr.. Sol Loeb and Miss Fannie Sues,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Sues.
Fair and loving hands had beautifully
festooned the temple, making IT look
like fairy land. There were great
many people present, and the richness
of the ladies' toilets was particularly
marked. The fair bride entered the
temple on the arm of her father and
the groom on the brides mothers
arm, and as they marched down the
aisle the wedding march of "Lucia"
was played with fine effect Hating
at the altar, there stood by them the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Loeb,
the bridesmaids Misses Wasserzug,
Fannie Lyons and Katie Baum; the
groomsmen: Messrs Henry Calm, Ike
Torch and II. Mittenthal. AS the
group stood there before the Rev. DR..
Chapman, it presented beautiful
sight. The surroundings were very
brilliant and exquisite in color and
design. The rich and beautiful cos
TUNES showed to the very best advan-
tage, and altogether it was a pleasing
sight to look upon. The ushers were
Messrs. Ben Irelson and Henry Pol
lock. The choir consisted of Prot.
Manner, as conductor; soprani, Mrs.
Louis Goslin, Misses Annie Frees and
Fannie Oppenheim; contraltos, Misses
Emma Oppenheim and Fannie Goslin;
tenors, Messrs. Henry j. Frees and II.
L. Horton; bassos, Messrs. w. j. and
b. j. Frees. After the ceremony and
the two had been made man and wife
they and their friends passed from
the temple to Crowdus Hall, where
there awaited a sumptuous feast
which was much enjoyed. After this
came the dancing and mcrry-making

Fortunate Dallas.

Yesterday from 2 o'clock in the
morning until seven in the evening
Dallas people were startled with five
fire alarms, and not one out of these
required the services of the fire depart
ment, as they were insignificant and
extinguished befoae the department
arrived. The WIND al day blew a gale
and had any one of these fires got UNI
der Roadway the danger OF a destruc-
tive conflagration was eminent to say
the least. But fortunate Dallas was
saved from the fire fiend, a something
that does not happen where there are
five distinct and positive fires. In each
case, however, the DEPARTMENT was on
time and ready for business. The ma.
iority of these fir, were caused by de-
feciiyc flucs in frame buildings, VIII Oh
will cause more vigilence on the part
of the city authorities concerning
fiues.

Reverence.

There is no virtue, no grace in pos
lures and attitudes. This truth we do
not question. But if we refuse to en-
press reverence we shall soon cease to
feel reverence. This also is a truth
1t is not enough to be interested in a
general sense in the services of the
sanctuary. "God is greatly to be
feared [reverenoed] in the assembly Of
the saints and in the congregation. "
True reverence, real worship, will eX-
press itself somehow, as long as we are
compounded of body and spirit. Starve
expression and how long will the feel
ing endure? We are persuaded that it
has declined in many if not in most of
our congregations. 1t is greatly to be
wished that it might be revived. But
in order that it may become fixed
habit of our souls we need to adopt
suitable methods of expression. We
should feel more like praying if we
adopted some proper attitude of prayer.
BY kneeling, bowling the head, cover
ing the eyes-by some bodily action OF
attitude expressive of reverent adora-
tion-we shall be far more likely to
cultivate the true spirit of DEVOTION

Separation from the World.

"They are dead fish which are carried
down the stream" says Manton. Liv-
ing fish may go with the stream at times,
but dead fish must always do so. There
are plenty of such in all waters-dead
souls, so far as the truest life is con-
cerned-and these are always drifting,
drifting, drifting as the current takes
them. Their first inquiry is: What is
customary? Gods law is of small ac-
count to them, but the unwritten rules
of society have a power over them
which they never think of resisting.
They stand in awe of FOOLS banter
and ask of their neighbor leave to
breathe. Good men have generally
been called upon to walk by themselves.
We can sin abundantly by passively
yielding to the course of this world
but to be holy and gracious needs many
a struggle, many tear Come, my
heart, canst thou go against the stream?
1t is the way of life. The opposing
waters will but wash and cleanse thee,
and thou shalt ascend to the eterna
river-head and be near and like thy
God. O, thou who art Lord of the
straight and narrow way, aid me 10
force a passage to glory and immor
tality.-Rev. C. II. SpurgeOn.
